DEVICE FOR SHARPENING SHEARS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters PatentNo. 759,631, dated May 10,1904.

Application filed February 15, 1904. Serial No.193,528. (No model.)

T0 at whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J oIIN N. QUINN, acitizen of the United States,residing at Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Devices forSharpening Shears, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in a device for sharpening shearsby hand.

The features of my invention are more fully set forth in the descriptionof the accompanyingdrawings, forming a part of this specification, inwhich-- Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improvement, showing asection of shear-blade in position and a stone in dotted lines. Fig. 2is a front elevation. Fig. 3 is a top plan View.

A represents a flat table provided with an angular groove B for thereception of the shear-blade O. The angle of the groove relative to thetable is such that when the shearblade is in place in the groove thebevel a forming the cutting edge of the blade will be in horizontalplane with the table.

D represents a bracket-arm.

r E represents a clampingscrew in the bracket-arm.

The under surface of the table and the end of the screw Z) form aclamping-jaw which permits the device to be conveniently clamped to aWorking bench.

F represents the sharpen ing-stone. (Shown in dotted lines.)

The blade is reciprocated lengthwise of its slot, and the flat stone istransversely reciprocated on a flat table.

This makes a very convenient sharpening device for artisans using shearsin their daily work.

Having described my invention, I claim- A device for holding shears whensharpening, consisting of a flat table having an angular groove formedtherein, adapted to present the bevel edge of the contained shear-bladein the place of the flat table, a bracket-arm and a clamping-screwtherein, the under side of the table and the end of the screwconstituting the clamping-jaws adapted to it a bench or table,substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.
